Deleting B&N Content from your Online Digital Library
We recommend that you not delete B&N content. Instead, archive it, which removes the content
from your NOOK (and other devices associated with your Barnes & Noble online account) and flags
the content as archived in your library.
If you delete content from your online digital library, you cannot get it back, even by calling
customer service. By deleting the content, you no longer own it, so the only option is
to re-purchase it. Think of it in the same terms as throwing away a book. Before deleting
content from your online digital library, we recommend that you save a backup copy by
copying the item from your NOOK to your personal computer.
There is no way to just delete content from your NOOK. To free up space on your NOOK, archive
the content, which deletes it from your NOOK, deletes it from other devices associated with the
account, and flags the item as archived in your library.
If you really do want to delete B&N content, you can do so from your account (the one associated
with your NOOK) on the BN.com website.
When you delete content from your online digital library using the BN.com website:
• It is deleted permanently from your online digital library.
• It is deleted permanently from your NOOK and from all other devices associated with the
account.
If you save a copy of digital content before deleting it, you can copy it from your personal computer
to your NOOK using USB. Copy it to the my documents folder on your NOOK, which shows up
as the My Documents section of your library. If you copy it back to my B&N downloads, your
NOOK will delete it.
My Documents
Accessible from the library icon on the Home menu, My Documents is a view of your personal
digital content (eBooks and periodicals with file formats EPUB, PDB, and PDF). Your NOOK
supports digital reading content (for example, eBooks and periodicals) in the following formats:
• ePub, including DRM-secured files and files without DRM
• PDB, including DRM-secured files and files without DRM
• PDF, including password-secured files and files that are not secured
When you eject/unmount your NOOK drive from USB (and a supplemental microSD card drive if
present), your NOOK scans for changes in content, and displays an up-to-date list in My Documents.
Where you can put your files diers for the internal memory and a supplemental microSD card:
